I can’t believe your father has just passed and exactly 3 months after your mother and just 16 days after my mother. It has been a very difficult spring and summer in the Blackstock clan. This Christmas will not be the same. I look forward to seeing you sometime in the coming months to support each other. Cousin Laurie
